3DS Forum

if you haven't seen the front page.... damn. nintendo really must be in serious trouble to do this. kind of bums me out that if i had waited a few more months i could have gotten a red 3DS for $80 cheaper, but i suppose the game boy advance VC news and 20 free games kind of makes up for it! $170 is even lower than what even the most optimistic predictions were before it released, so i guess no one can complain about the value now.

I have to say, an $80 price drop after 5 months on the market is a bit of a reach. But I guess Nintendo is worried about VITA along with the lagging sales of 3DS. At least this makes the system more affordable to people during the holidays. Might put the system in people's hands that wouldn't normally be able to afford it at $250.

While I know what the press release says, I just don't see Nintendo making these GBA games available to people who bought the system early and no one else forever. Maybe for a length of time, but these are some of the most popular GBA games.

it makes you wonder how low the productions costs of the 3DS are if they can slash this much away... when iwata said the $250 price was inflated after E3 2010 i assumed they had originally been aiming around $200-220, but maybe this new price is more in line with what they originally were planning before they went overboard and hiked the price. i had read the wii cost only $80 to produce... :0

I am kinda mixed on the whole thing. I cant really afford the 250 price tag so the 169 is right up my alley, but than again I wont be able to get those games. Ah well Most of those NES games I have and the GBA ones I can probably find on Ebay or something.

They can be a lot more respectable though. Corbs just seems different to me.Edit: I think I know whats up. I'll e-mail you about it James. (Has something to do with robots)Further Edit: I see TBD on, time for me to log off.
